In real, the World Cup was a huge opportunity for Power Sportz to cover and hog the limelight globally, in the OTT platform.
Well, amidst the World Cup, Power Sportz kept on hold its flagship program “Talking Turkey with Kanthi” and go off-air. Moreover, it was kind of a much-needed sabbatical for Kanthi D Suresh, the Editor-in-chief of Power Sportz and the host of the most talked-about sports debate show.
Now, that the World Cup is over and the trophy has changed hands with the emergence of new champions, Talking Turkey with Kanthi is all set to resume from July 19. The show is back to keep all the new users further engaged as the World Cup carnival is over.
It is interesting to note that there has been no “Talking Turkey with Kanthi” show since the new Modi government had taken the oath because the World Cup started just at the cusp. Nonetheless, Kanthi is known to be neutral with her apolitical inclination, it would be interesting to see which side she would take, whether she would still have a neutral view or take a partisan viewpoint.
Well, we fans can only wait and watch for the time to tell what lies ahead in Power Sportz and Talking Turkey with Kanthi!
